FUR TRIM iNGS.
The Kinds in General Use and Their Ar
g. rangement.


rangement.
Fur trimmings are arranged in wide
borders ON the foot of skirts of cloth
and velvet gowns, and in still wider
borders on long cloaks. The fancy for
'lengthwise trimmings on jackets ex-
tends to those of cloth as well as of
seal-skin, borders being reserved for
long garments, and indeed many pre-
fer long cloaks trimmed down the front
and back instead of in border across
the foot, which detracts from the APP.
parent height. Pipings OIL edgings of
fur, making sometimes q small roll
like a binding, are used in short furs
such as beaver, seal and Persian lamb
skin. Russian sable is the costly brown
fur chosen by the rich; very pretty
brown effects are given in mink by hay
ing rows of the dark tails crossing a
wide border, or else. the dark stripe on
the back of the animal passes down the
middle of a band.of the four-inch trim
ming width. The new wolverine also
comes, in brown sable shades, and is
very durable for trimming muffs, boas
etc. The old fashioned stone-marten is
again q, fashionable brown fur, and
natural .plucked beaver is still used,
notwithstanding its many rivals.
= Strong and snowy trimmings for
large garments areborders of the black
bear, or of the lighter brown bears.
Imported wraps and tailor gowns are
trimmed with black caracal, the glossy
fleece with large waves formerly called
Astrakhan, and !. once in vogue for
sacques;. this rivals the Persian lamb
/ skin with; its smaller waves and shorter
fleece. The genuine Astrakhan, closely
curled and without luster, is especially
liked for trimming mourning garments
The revived caracal is originally of
dark brown shades, and is shown thus
as trimmings. muff, cape or boa. The
fox furs, blue, gray, silver, black and
the cross fox, all remain in fashion, also
the various black furs with long fleece,
such as lynx and black marten; cClored
beavers are less use.' than formerly.
The raecoon is a snowy, light and mex
pensive fur, and the prettily shaded
skins of the gray Australian opossum
are now much used. Krimmer Cor
gray Astrakhan), chinchilla and OF
ter, also spotted leopard borders, are
chosen alike for ladies and children's
wraps. Vests, waistcoats, plastrons.
and revers of the short-feeced furs are
on many winter garments, and entire
lower skirts of furs are among many
midwinter luxuries for gowns of cloth
and velvet. White fox and the crinkled
Chinese lamb-skin Called also manda-
rim lamb) trim evening cloaks and the
white eloaks worn by children. Brown
furs, especially natural plucked beaver
and brook otter, are also handsome on

THE CAPTAIN WAS DRUNK.

Whisky Causes the Wreck of Propeller
aud the Loss of Fifty Lives.
One more disaster may be put down
to the account of intoxicating liquor
The propeller vernon" that carried
fifty victims 10 sudden death in Lake
Michigan, might have lived through
the storm that wrecked her, despite
her faulty construction, had Captain
Thorp, her MASTER been sober. He
has been for some time a notorious
drunkard. Edgar A. Hall, brother of
the second engineer of the Vernon"
says that Thorp once had an attack of
delirium tremens while on top of the
pilot house. A prominent wholesale
merchant told Hall that during one
trip Thorp was drunk the entire time
the merchant was on the boat. Two
ladies who arrived in Chicago Septem-
Der 3, on the Vernon" state that
Captain Thorp was drunk during the
entire trip.
Axel Stone, the sole survivor of the
disaster, says:
THE captain was drunk most of the
time, and he was very drunk when we
left Cheboygan last week. While we
were coming through the straits the
second mate said to him: Sober upr
you drunken beast and take care Of
this boat and the people, The cap
tain told him to go to -. | was in
the cabin at the time and heard every
word that was said. Friday night,
which was the night that the steamer
was lost, the captain was as drunk rs [
ever saw him, and he kept taking "
drink every little while from bottle
that he carried in his coat pocket L
guess that is why the first mate staid
on deck all of the time. He knew that
the captain was so drunk that he didn't
hardly know what he was about, and
was probably afraid the captain would
do something foolish. If the captain
had been sober don't believe the YES
sci would have been lost, for any sober
man would have turned back when he
saw how badly she acted in the big
sea-"
Captains Sullivan and Higgins, the
first and second mates, were expert
enced sea captains, and had not the
drunken Captain Thorpe been in COM
mand, marine authorities are strongly
of the opinion that the steamer would
still be afoat. When the steamer left.
Cheboy gan she was loaded, at the
I drunken captains demand, until her
deck was but sir inches above water
line. She was loaded so heavily that
her forward gangways could not be
closed, and when the sea began rum
ming the waves washed through the
| gangways into the boat. Stone says
he suggested the boat be lighted by
lighted by throwing over II part of the
cargo, but the drunken captain an
| swered him with an oath.
This matter of drunkenness is no.
| body's business but the drinkers. No
one is injured except the man who
drinks. So say many people who pro-
fess to be good Temperance men,

TEMPERANCE READING.
THE TWO SIGNS.

At the sign of THE Glass of Champagne"
On the corner, what see you at nights
Thro' the oft opened door, the high-polished
floor,
And mirrors and Thar fixtures" bright
Pass under sThe Glass Of Champagne
Gaudy pictures bedeck the pale wall,
Not an oath is here heard, not loud-spoken
word,
Meek walters obey ev'ry call.
Not sound of carousal or brawl-
All is quiet, and polished and fine.
Here gentlemen call, in soeiety's drawl,
For their brandy or sparkling wine.
Pedestrians on the street hear
But the click of the cues as they pass
It is-not disgrace to be seen in this place.
And the drunkards here made are first-class
See that youth barely out of his teens
Approach the gay, glittering bar
His head is held high and smiling his eye,
AS he calls for his wine or cigar
Diamonds flash on his snowy-white shirt.
Diamonds flash on his snowy-white hand.
He's the acme of style, oh, well may he smile,
For fortune is his to command.
On the corner whatse unds do you hear?
You hear fistic bouts, and vile drunken shouts,
And the clinking of glasses of beer.
Pass under sHThe Big Lager Glass
There is dancing and music in there,
And topical songs on the workng-man's wrongs
By maidens once guileless and fair.
Pass on to the high sloppy bar,
See that brute bloated, dirty, blear-eyed
Clothes tattered and torn, unshaven. unshorn,
Hand nervously twitching at side.
See him search and research his foul rags,
See the big drops of sweat on his brow
Ev'ry nerve, eVry vein is throbbing with pain,
And crying for stimulus now.
At the sign of 1.-THE Glass of Champagne
You saw, not a long time ago,
With his head held up high, and with CAV,
smiling eye,
This brute so besotted and low.
AT the sign of ''The Glass of Champagne"
He once strutted a proud. lsping SWELL
He scorned to drink beer, but he begs for il
.-. In lower but not worse hell.
Let's depart from this horrible den,
And as thro it's dark portals we pass,
Let's swear, as we're men, to never again
Pass under THE Big Lager Glass"
And let's swear, as we laugh at the brutes,
And scott at their wll-power and brain,
To take to the stall if we e'er again call

DRESSING THE HAIR.
General Precepts That May Be Followe,
with Impunity.

General Precepts That May Be FOLLOWED
with Impunity.
The question of dressing the hair be-
comingly is one that agitates many
feminine breasts and understood by
comparatively few women. The idea
of adopting certain style of couture
merely because it happens to be the
fashion is ridiculous. There should be
no such thing as fashion in this inn
portant matter. A woman ought to
dress her hair according to her face,
but in nine cases out of ten this is pre-
cisely what she does not do. Fixed
rules can not of courseebe laid down as
to the proper method of procedure in
hair-dressing, but there are several
general precepts that may be followed
by young and old with impunity. For
instance, long, narrow face demands
that the hair besomewhat puffed at the
sides so that proper harmony of pro-
portion be maintained. A. contrary
course should be observed if the
countenance be round and full Nothing
can be more ill-adapted to short, fat
face than bushy curls surrounding it.
Yet fat women nearly always arrange
their hairin curls and puffs exaggerated
to a degree corresponding to the amount
of adjacent adipose tissue. A slight
crimping of the hair relieves otherwise
severe outlines and is always becom-
ing; but there is great difference be-
tween soft waves and brushy curls.:
Above all things hold in abject abhor-
renee that terrible and hideous article
known as 'front.' There never was
false front, wig or semi-wig that did
not by its very appearance proclaim
its true name to the world. To mis-
take false front for the wearer's own
hair is just as possible as to mistake a
wooden leg or a glass eye for real
flesh and blood. A false front is glar-
ing fraud to which no self-respecting
woman will lend herself. If she has
the misfortune to be bald let her buy
an entire wig and make no secret of its
possession. But to deliberately fasten
back her own locks to pin upon her
forehead a stiff, ungainly row of curls
or bangs cut from somebody else S
head constitutes an exhibition Of bad
taste that amounts almost to a crime.
The greatest beauty would be heavily
weighted by a false front, while to an
ugly woman it is a milestone. Cara

These are distributed over the earth S

In Asia, where he was first planted,
there are now approximately about
800, 100000, densely crowded; on an
average 120 to the square mile. In
Europe there are 100000 averag-
ing 100 to the square mile-not SO
crowded, but everywhere dense, and at
all points over-populated. In Africa
there are 210,000,000. In America,
North and South, there are 10, 100000
relatively thinly scattered and recent.
In the Islands, large and small,
probably 100000. The ex-
tremes of the white and black
are as five to three; the remaining
700, 900, 600 intermediate brown and
tawny. Of the race, 500,000,000 are
